Tour Overview
Discover the blend of comfort and charm within the heart of Africa with an exceptional value offered by our choice accommodations, setting the stage for a truly memorable safari. You’ll take part of the knowledge of English-speaking safari guides, experts in both the parks and wildlife conservation, adding depth to your big five safari experience. Marvel at the Serengeti’s natural wonders, and the annual wildebeest migration between January to March —a breathtaking display of life on the move. At Tarangire National Park, witness the large herds of elephants and a rich tapestry of predators and prey in their natural habitats. Gaze at the beauty of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where the vibrant Maasai culture coexists with an incredible array of birdlife and is also the site of the famed Olduvai Gorge, a landmark of human history. And not to be missed, Lake Manyara National Park, famed for its tree-climbing lions, unveils varied ecosystems and a plethora of wildlife. This and much more is what you’ll get to experience during our big five safari in Tanzania.
